Dr. Persky,

First of all I am not a doctor but are you aware that the manufacturer of Botox claims it does cause headaches for a while. I have had the injections several times for my cronic migraines and it did work for a while but only after a month or more of terrible headaches. I don't understand why these doctors say they have never heard of it. They need to read all these blogs. If it wasn't happening then why would all these people tell you that they suffer from the headaches. It it would help I would have it again in a New York minute....I would love to see some doctor really research this topic and see if he or she couldn't fine the answers for all of us who have these headaches. Whoever it would be would have a very happy world I am sure.... Thank you for taking the time to post....

If all of you botox users go online to the manufacturer of Botox and I am not sure but I think it is Allergen but check and make sure first but anyway they tell you that headaches ARE a side effect of the drug but yet doctors say they have never heard of it before. I myself had it several times and I suffered every time also. I haven't had it now for 6 months and I will never have it again. My headaches were bad enough before I got it so with the botox they were ten times worse. Bottom line is I will never have it again. Hope everyone gets some relief from their headaches. Noting worse in my opinion........

Dear Lynnkie,
I too suffer with daily migraines. I take the same meds you do. My doctor told me that migraines are a disease and they have no cure. That was really welcomed news to hear. I have done everything including the Botox. I even had the nerve stimulator put in my back and that didn't work either. I feel for you because I know what you are going through. I spend a lot of nights walking the floors with mine or hung over the toliet. Have you tried some stretches for the neck and shoulders to release that tightnest? It has helped me somewhat. Not all the time but sometimes it has helped. The Botox was really bad. The headaches were worse after the injections but the headaches did subside after a few months and then I had a few months of no headaches. Don't know what was worse....My thing is why in this day and age can't they find a cure for these headaches. They have taken over my whole life. I sure hope you get some relief from your injections and yes they did hurt me like hell also. Maybe these last few days mean that the Botox has started to work. I wonder since you are 58 and I am 60 if they may be hormonal. I will have to ask my doctor about that. I really don't think they know what causes them other than some things that can trigger them. So maybe someday there may be help for us both. You take care and I hope everything works out for you.

I did not purchase his book. I got a email from him everyday giving me things to do to relieve my headaches and I can't believe this but it is the only thing that is helping me. Meds do okay but you can't live on them forever so please check this out and see if anyone can get the same relief I got. It doesn't matter what the cause I would think but tension building up from the pain in our necks and shoulders so give this a try. I hope this helps.
Thank you
